Blue Moon Dragonfly, Pond, Garden, Waterlilies Original Painting

BLUE MOON DRAGONFLY
Acrylic
6 x 4"
Copyright 2016 Sandra Estes

I love watching the dragonflies swooping and dancing over my backyard pond.  This is the inspiration for my dragonfly paintings.  In this painting, I imagine a graceful dragonfly with lovely, gossamer wings, flying over a  garden pond with waterlilies, at night by the light of a full blue moon...like a dream.

This painting will be listed on eBay later this evening.

White Flowering Spring Tree Under the Moon

"White Moon Tree"
ACEO 2.5"x3.5"
Acrylic on linen panel
SOLD to a collector in the U.K.

I saw some lovely white flowering trees the other night. I've seen them every spring, but I don't believe I've ever seen them at night under the moon. I knew immediately that I wanted to paint them, so I took some photos. I most always have my camera with me for just such a moment! Here is one of my photos. The photo was taken in a parking lot and there was no grass as the area around the trees had been mulched. The moon was off to the left outside of the photo.


In my painting, I put the white spring flowering tree on bright green grass set against a black star-filled sky and illuminated by the moon.

I have decided to do a Dreamscape series of ACEO's and larger paintings. This original tree/landscape painting falls into my surreal Dreamscapes series as well. I love where this painting takes me. I imagine laying in the tall grass of a lush green meadow on a warm summer night, star-gazing... :)

10% of final sale of this painting will support Plant a Tree in Haiti and Help 155 Families Eat-a Global Giving Project
About this nonprofit: When you're poor & utterly destitute it is impossible to think beyond immediate needs. Food, fuel. A place to sleep. Long-term concerns are tomorrow's problem. In desperation, Haitian villagers cut down trees to get fuel for cooking. Then the hurricanes came and eroded the farmland. Now family farmers have nothing to cook. A peasant organization in Haiti wants help planting trees so they can farm again.
